Seller: Bernard Quaritch Ltd ABA ILAB, London, United Kingdom
Soft cover. Condition: New. 8vo (210 x 150 mm), pp. [iv], 116, with 18 full-page illustrations; pictorial card wrappers. In this guide various approaches to Hakluyt's books are suggested under a number of interrelated headings his patronage and connections; Italian and French influences; his use of illustration and his presentation of texts; his intentions; and his impact and readership. It is hoped that it will aid a broad appreciation of Hakluyt's work and the nature of his achievement, notably that his part in the publication of over twenty-five travel books marks a contribution to travel literature far beyond the Principal navigations and discoveries of the English nation for which he is chiefly famous. Extensive notes are provided to indicate further primary and secondary references and, finally, there is a bibliography of the books by or otherwise associated with Hakluyt published between 1580 and 1625.
